Mossos dismantle a group linked to more than 70 robberies and 700,000 euros

The Mossos have dismantled a criminal group linked to more than 70 burglaries at companies. Four people have been arrested in a joint investigation with the Civil Guard, according to the message published by the Mossos on September 12.

The stolen computer equipment is valued at 700,000 euros. The case affects companies in Catalonia, Aragon, and the Valencian Community, but the information released does not specify the municipalities of the burglaries, the identity of the detainees, or the exact location of the arrests.

More than 70 burglaries at companies

What are the confirmed facts of the operation?

The information published by the Mossos allows us to identify four main facts: there are four detainees, the group is linked to more than 70 burglaries, the victims are companies, and the stolen material is computer equipment. The reported value of this material reaches 700,000 euros.

These figures describe the scope of the investigation but do not specify how many burglaries correspond to each territory. The message mentions Catalonia, Aragon, and the Valencian Community as the affected areas, without distributing the cases or indicating if all incidents were committed using the same method.

The word “linked” also limits what can be stated. The Mossos do not indicate that the four individuals have been convicted nor do they provide, in the consulted message, a detailed description of the specific involvement of each. The communication reports a dismantling and arrests within a police investigation.

Why is the computer equipment the central economic data?

The computer equipment is the only type of object mentioned by the Mossos. The information does not list computers, servers, phones, or other devices, so it is not possible to specify what might have been stolen from each company or how the total value was calculated.

The 700,000 euros correspond to the total value of the equipment reported as stolen. It is also not stated whether this amount is an estimate, the purchase value of the equipment, or another valuation used during the investigation. The figure, however, allows understanding that this is not about a single isolated burglary, but a case with an accumulated economic dimension.

For the affected businesses, the available information does not specify which business sectors suffered the burglaries or if there was damage beyond the theft of equipment. It is unknown, for example, if the assaults caused damage to access points or interruptions to activity. Adding that would go beyond what the investigators have stated.

• More than 70: burglaries linked to the group.
• Four: people arrested.
• 700,000 euros: value of stolen computer equipment.
• Three territories: Catalonia, Aragon, and the Valencian Community.

A joint investigation between Mossos and Civil Guard

How has the investigation been made public?

The Mossos d’Esquadra released the information through their official account on X on September 12. The message identifies the DIC of the Mossos and the Civil Guard as the forces that carried out the investigation jointly.

This detail explains that the operation exceeds a single territorial police area. However, the message does not describe which part of the investigation each body assumed, nor how the more than 70 burglaries are connected to the four arrests.

The source also does not provide a timeline of events. It does not specify when the investigation started, how long the burglaries took place, or when the arrests were made. Therefore, the police communication can only be positioned at the date of publication: September 12.

What is still unknown about the detainees and the burglaries?

The communication from the Mossos does not provide the names or ages of the arrested individuals. It also does not specify whether they are men or women, if they have previous records, or if they have been brought before the court. These data are not part of the information released and cannot be completed with conjecture.

It is also pending to know the specific locations where the burglaries reportedly took place. The message cites three territories but does not indicate any street, industrial park, municipality, or company. This prevents linking the operation to a specific point in the Tarragona province or a particular locality in Catalonia.

The published information also does not say if the computer equipment has been recovered. It only states that the detainees had stolen equipment valued at 700,000 euros. There is no data on searches, vehicles, tools, company entries, or other investigation elements.

The case, as explained by the Mossos, is defined by the territorial scope and the number of burglaries linked. The rest — the method, the municipalities, the distribution of responsibilities, and the judicial status — does not appear in the official message. In a police report, this boundary is not paperwork: it is the difference between informing and inventing.

The confirmed information is, therefore, specific: the Mossos’ DIC and the Civil Guard have worked together to dismantle a group linked to more than 70 burglaries at companies; there are four people arrested; and the stolen computer equipment is valued at 700,000 euros. Catalonia, Aragon, and the Valencian Community are the territories mentioned.

Any updates about the affected municipalities, recovered material, or the detainees’ situation must come from a later communication or a judicial source. Until then, what can be reported is this: a joint investigation has connected dozens of business burglaries and put a very specific figure on the table. The rest is not yet here.
